  • There's nothing quite like getting lost in an excellent book (or an article from your favorite science news site).

When you read, your brain engages in a complex process involving multiple regions, as revealed by recent scientific research. The angular gyrus, located in the parietal lobe, plays a crucial role in translating visual and auditory information into language, acting as a sort of "dictionary" that helps you understand words. The frontal lobe, responsible for executive functions, aids in processing the meaning of sentences and maintaining focus on the text. Additionally, the temporal lobe, which handles memory and language comprehension, works in tandem with the other areas to construct a coherent understanding of the narrative. This interconnected activity not only allows you to comprehend the text but also enables you to immerse yourself in the story, experiencing emotions and visualizing scenes as if you were part of the narrative.
